Abstract (en)

A self-sterilizing display device (10) is applied to self- sterilizing with a UV light (Luv). The self-sterilizing display device (10) includes a display, a light-incident layer (120), a light source (130), and a transparent protective layer (180). The light-incident layer (120) is disposed above the display. The light source (130) is disposed at a periphery of the light-incident layer (120), and a light-emitting surface (130a) of the light source (130) faces to the light-incident layer (120). The transparent protective layer (180) is disposed between the light-incident layer (120) and the display. Herein, the light source (130) can emit the UV light (Luv) toward the light-incident layer (120) for sterilizing an outer surface (10a) of the self-sterilizing display (10) device by irradiation, and the transparent protective layer (180) can filter out the UV light (Luv). Therefore, the surface can be sterilized by UV light (Luv), and the UV light (Luv) can be prevented or reduced from being incident on the display (110) below and damaging the display.
